I don't think I get what "specificity" means in this context. A selector such as h1 + p is more specific than everything else in the post-conversion CSS. If I add it to the CSS after conversion with the GUI editor, they are applied, the DO override the styles already present and the book looks fine. No "magic" is needed here.
I see that calibre doesn't ever use element selectors in the CSS, but creates classes that it assigns to elements (calibre1, calibre2, etc.) which I suppose is a limitation here unless it has the capability of computing all p tags that are preceded by h1, creating a .calibre567 class and explicitly assigning it to them.
